Change the Message Queue Administrator Password

The Message Queue administrator account is named admin and lets you perform administrative tasks in the Message Queue.

You may need to regularly change the admin password to comply with your organization's security and password policies.

Before you change the Message Queue administrator password, note the following:

• The default password for this account is the communication password that you specify when you install CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management.
• The password has the following limitations:
  • Must be 1-240 characters long
  • Must not contain high ASCII characters
  • Must not contain double quotes ( " )
  • Must not contain @ and $ signs
• The password is stored in the Message Queue.

Important! If you have more than one Distribution Server in your enterprise, first change the password on the Distribution Server installed on the Enterprise Management Server, then change the password on the other Distribution Servers in your enterprise. The Message Queue is part of the Distribution Server.

To change the Message Queue administrator password, set the Message Queue password for the admin user.

Example: Set the Message Queue Password For the admin User

This Tibco EMS Administration Tool command sets the Message Queue password for the admin user. The password is "secret", and must be in clear text and enclosed in double quotes:

ssl://localhost:7243> set password admin "secret"
Password of user 'admin' has been modified
ssl://localhost:7243>
